Home Affairs Minister Adrian Earnshaw has told Energy FM News that the proposed amendments to the Isle of Man Anti Terrorism Bill are to focus mainly around loop holes in the Financial system.

The planned amendments are to prevent the Island being used as a haven for funds used to finance terrorist activity.

The government's public consultation on the changes is underway.
